Self-Service Group Management Create a Group Security Reports and Alerts Orchestrated Recovery Health Monitoring Cloud computing can be referred to as the storing and accessing of data over the internet rather than your computer's hard drive. This means you don't access the data from either your computer's hard drive or over a dedicated computer network home or office network.
Cloud computing means data is stored at a remote place and is synchronized with other web information. One prominent example of cloud computing is Office which allows users to store, access, edit their MS Office documents online in browser without installing the actual program on their device.
Back-end Platform: There are various computers, servers, virtual machines, etc. These clouds are accessed through internet by users. These are open to public and their infrastructure is owned and operated by service providers as in case of Google and Microsoft.
Private Cloud: These clouds are dedicated to a particular organization. That particular organization can use the cloud for storing the company's data, hosting business application, etc. The data stored on public cloud can't be shared with other organizations.
The cloud is managed either by the organization itself or by the third party. Organizations can use private clouds for sensitive application, while public clouds for non-sensitive applications. The hybrid clouds provide flexible, scalable and cost-effective solutions to the organizations. Benefits of Cloud There are many benefits of clouds. Some of them are listed below. Allocation and de-allocation of resources is dynamically as per demand.
SPI Next comes how cloud services are categorized. Windows Azure Microsoft Azure There are many cloud computing platforms offered by different organizations. Windows Azure is one of them, which is provided by Microsoft. Azure can be described as the managed data centers that are used to build, deploy, manage the applications and provide services through a global network.
Many programming languages and frameworks are supported by it. Azure as PaaS Platform as a Service As the name suggests, a platform is provided to clients to develop and deploy software. The clients can focus on the application development rather than having to worry about hardware and infrastructure. It also takes care of most of the operating systems, servers and networking issues. The whole process is not visible to developer and thus does not pose a risk of data breach. There can be a different environment at Azure, thus the application might have to be adapted accordingly.
Azure as IaaS Infrastructure as a Service It is a managed compute service that gives complete control of the operating systems and the application platform stack to the application developers. It lets the user to access, manage and monitor the data centers by themselves. The virtual machine can be completely adapted to the requirements of the organization or business.
This means application can be migrated to Windows Azure without rework. All the application dependencies such as database can also be migrated to Azure. This also helps the vendors to expand their business by selling the existing software or services in new markets.
It might become difficult for them to migrate the application to future versions. For example, higher server maintenance for patching and upgrading software. Some companies have well- defined processes for testing and updating on-premise servers for security vulnerabilities.
These processes need to be extended to the cloud-hosted IaaS VMs to mitigate hacking risks. Unlike PaaS, there is no provision of automatic server patching in IaaS.
An unpatched server with sensitive information can be very vulnerable affecting the entire business of an organization. It can be stuck with the older version of the operating systems and application stacks. Thus, resulting in applications that are difficult to maintain and add new functionality over the period of time.
It becomes necessary to understand the pros and cons of both services in order to choose the right one according your requirements. In conclusion it can be said that, PaaS has definite economic advantages for operations over IaaS for commodity applications. In PaaS, the cost of operations breaks the business model.
Whereas, IaaS gives complete control of the OS and application platform stack. Azure Management Portal Azure Management Portal is an interface to manage the services and infrastructure launched in All the services and applications are displayed in it and it lets the user manage them.
Getting started A free trial account can be created on Azure management portal by visiting the following link - manage.
The account can be created using our existing Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo account. When you click on a category, its details are displayed on the screen. You can see the number of applications, virtual machine, mobile services and so on by clicking on the menu item.
The next chapter contains a detailed explanation of how to use this portal to manage Azure services. The Individual components are explained with detailed pictures in subsequent chapters.
These models can be used either separately or in combination as per the requirement. SQL server database can be used for relational database. The storage module can store unrelated tables without foreign key or any relation and blobs. Blobs include binary data in the form of images, audio, video, and text files. The process involves finding the nearest datacenter to the user who makes the request for web application, and if the nearest datacenter is not available due to various reasons, the traffic manager deviates the request to another datacenter.
However, rules are set by the owner of the application as to how a traffic manager should behave. The virtual network is another feature that is part of networking in services offered by Windows Azure. The virtual network allows a network between local machines at your premise and virtual machine in Azure Datacenter. IPs to virtual machines can be assigned in a way that makes them appear to be residing in your own premise. The following image shows how these two features actually look in Azure portal.
Azure offers HDInsight which is Hadoop-based service. Organizations often need to manage large amount of data which is necessarily not relational database management. Hadoop is a prominent technology used these days.
Thus, Azure offers Hadoop service on their platform for clients. This is achieved by executing code on many machines at the same time. Messaging Windows Azure offers two options for handling the interactions between two apps.
The messages can be sent to initiate communication among different components of an application or among different applications using these two options. CDN is used to cache the blob data that will be accessed faster by users around the world. Identity and Access This component is about management of users, authentication and authorization. It can synchronize with the related information on local machines residing on premises.
Multifactor Access MFA service is built to address the security concerns such as only the right user can access the application. You can simply start using mobile development tools after logging into your account. The push notifications can be sent, data can be stored and users can be authenticated in very less time. Similarly Azure backup can be used to backing up the on premise data in clouds.
Data is stored in encrypted mode in both the cases. Media This service addresses multiple concerns related to uploading media and making it available to end users easily. Users can manage tasks related to the media like encoding, ad insertion, streaming, etc.
Commerce Windows Azure offers the opportunity to users to buy or sell applications and data through their platform. The applications are put in the marketplace or Azure store from where they can be accessed and bought by other users. Microsoft currently provides language-specific SDKs for Java,. In this chapter, you will find step by step explanation of each component: Step 1: First, login in to your Azure account.
Now you will see a list of models under Compute Model as shown in the following image. Step 2: Click Quick Create and enter the URL and choose a service plan from the dropdown list as shown in the following image. And when you click the website URL, it will take you to the website. The following image shows how your website will look when you click the URL.
This will let you choose the development framework in which you want to create your app. Windows Azure supports. There are several ways of publishing the code to Azure server. Various source control tools such as GitHub, Dropbox and Codeplex can also be used to publish the code. It provides a very interactive interface to keep track of changes that have been published already and also unpublished changes.
Step 3: Choose the Operating System or Program you want to run. The Username and Password you set up here will be needed to access the virtual machine every time. On the next two screens you can leave the default values on for the first time.
It might take a few minutes to show up. It will save a. Step 7: Open that. You can also use your own image by capturing the image of an existing virtual machine or virtual hard drive. Virtual machines are beneficial in several ways. Creating a Mobile Service Mobile services compute hosting model is optimized to provide a cloud backend for applications that run on mobile devices.
For creating a mobile service: Step 1: Select Mobile services under Compute and click on create. A new window will be open as shown in the following image. Step 2: Fill in the URL. Select the database, region and backend.
Step 3: Tick the check box if you want to configure the advance push settings. This option allows us to configure our Mobile Service to use an existing notification hub or specify the name of a new one. If you leave this checkbox unmarked, a new hub will be created in a new namespace with a default name. Creating Batch Service Batch service is needed when a large scale application is run and a parallel high performing computing is required.
The developers can create batches to run a task parallel that eases the workload at no extra cost. They can schedule a task, put them in queues and manage the workload in cloud. Batch creation does not involve setting up a separate VM, cluster or job scheduling. To creating a batch service follow the similar steps for creating other services under Compute model.
The following image shows how a batch service can be created quickly. Once you have created a batch service, you can see the details by selecting it from the left panel. The following image pops up on the screen. When thinking of the components or services provided by Windows Azure, we wonder how all this works and what is happening in clouds. It seems very complex from our end. Let us look into the physical architecture of these services to have a better understanding of Fabric Controller.
Inside the datacenter, there are many machines or servers aggregated by a switch. We can say that fabric controller is a brain of the azure service that analyses the processes and makes decisions. The group of these machines is called cluster. Each cluster is managed and owned by a fabric controller.
They are replicated along with these machines. It manages everything inside those machines, for e. Each machine has a fabric agent running inside it and fabric controller can communicate with each fabric agent.
It decides where the new application should run which is one of the most important functions of Fabric Controller. It also selects the physical server to optimize hardware utilization. When a new application is published in Azure, an application configuration file written in XML is also attached.
The fabric controller reads those files in Microsoft datacenter and makes the setting accordingly. In addition to managing the allocation of resources to a specific application, it also monitors the health of compute and storage services. It also makes the failure recoveries for a system. Imagine a situation where four instances of web role are running, and one of them dies. The fabric controller will initiate a new instance to replace the dead one immediately.
Similarly, in case any virtual machine fails, a new one is assigned by the fabric controller. It also resets the load balancers after assigning the new machine, so that it points to the new machine instantaneously. Thus, all the intelligent tasks are performed by the Fabric Controller in Windows Azure architecture. Windows Azure allows developers to store tables, blobs, and message queues.
The storage can be accessed through HTTP. In this chapter, we will learn how to create a Windows Azure Storage account and use it for storing data. A copy of the data is kept so that it is durable and available at high speed.
It is retained even in case of hardware failure. There are 3 copies of each request made against the data that resides on separate domains. The advantage is that even if there is failure on one facility, the data still can be retained. Three copies of data are created. One more advantage is that data can be read from a secondary location. The numbers of copies of data created are 6 in this case.
The number of copies created is 6. The main advantage here is that availability of data can be maximized. So, choosing the replication of data depends on the cost and individual requirements.
Here you can see four items under services. You can create blobs, tables, queues and files in this storage account. There will a unique URL for each object. To access an object in the location is appended in the URL. Generating an Access Key Access key is used to authenticate the access to the storage account. Two access keys are provided in order to access the account without interrupting it, in case, one key has to be regenerated.
The following screen will come up. You will have to either create your own application or use an already built tool. Using the PowerShell commands is also an option to upload data. PowerShell is a command line application that facilitates administering and managing the Azure storage. Preset commands are used for different tasks to manage the storage. You will find it under Command-Line tools.
There are specific commands for each task. You can manage you storage account, create a new account, and create a container. Additionally, blobs, tables, queues messages can also be managed using PowerShell.
Blobs Microsoft Azure Let us first understand what a Blob is. Blobs include images, text files, videos and audios. There are three types of blobs in the service offered by Windows Azure namely block, append and page blobs. The block blobs allow the users to upload large amount of data. They allow random read and write operations. While creating a blob, if the type is not specified they are set to block type by default.
All the blobs must be inside a container in your storage. Here is how to create a container in Azure storage. Create a Container Step 1: Go to Azure portal and then in your storage account. There are three options in the Access dropdown which sets the permission of who can access the blobs. Step 2: Following command will let you access your account. You have to change the fields highlighted in all the commands. This will get you the details of you Azure account.
This will make sure that your subscription is all set. Get-AzureSubscription Step 4: Run the following command to upload your file. You can create a new container, upload blobs, see them in a listed format, and download them. Moreover, you can copy them to a secondary location in a very simple manner with this interface.
The following image makes the process clear. As can be seen, once an account is added, we can select it from the dropdown and get going. It makes operating Azure storage very easy. Queues Microsoft Azure In the common language used by developers, a queue is a data structure used to store data which follows First in-First out rule. A data item can be inserted from back of the queue while it is retrieved from front. Azure queues are a very similar concept that is used to store the messages in a queue.
A sender sends the message and a client receives and processes them. A message has few attributes attached to it, for example expiry time. A client usually processes and deletes the message. Windows Azure service lets the message to be stored for 7 days and later it gets deleted automatically, if it is not deleted by the client. There can be one sender and one client or one sender and many clients or many sender and many clients.
There are two services offered by Windows Azure for message queues. This chapter covers Windows Azure queue. Decoupling the components is one of the advantages of message queue services. It runs in an asynchronous environment where messages can be sent among the different components of an application.
Thus, it provides an efficient solution for managing workflows and tasks. For example, a message to complete a task is sent from the front- end of the application and is received by a backend worker, who then completes the task and deletes the message. Considerations The messages in the storage queue are not replicated anywhere, that means there is only one copy of your message.
The maximum number of messages that can be processed are 20, The maximum size of a message can be 40 kb. Step 2: Run the following command to access your account. Please replace the highlighted part for your account. Dequeue Next Message from Queue Step 1: First connect to your account and specify the storage account, by running the commands as shown in the above steps. Step 2: Retrieve the queue. Accounts will be displayed if you have added them during your previous use.
If not, you can add account and it will ask for your credentials. After signing in, you will be logged into your account in Azure Storage Explorer. Step 4: Add and delete the messages by selecting the queue in the left panel. Tables Microsoft Azure Storing a table does not mean relational database here.
Azure Storage can store just a table without any foreign keys or any other kind of relation. These tables are highly scalable and ideal for handling large amount of data. Tables can be stored and queried for large amount of data.
Table will be created for a collection of entities. There can be custom properties and 3 system properties. Timestamp is system generated but you will have to specify the PartitionKey and RowKey while inserting data into the table. The example below will make it clearer. Table name and Property name is case sensitive which should always be considered while creating a table. Creating a Table Step 1: Copy the following commands and paste into the screen.
Replace the highlighted text with your account. Step 2: Login into your account. You can see that it has given the following end point as a result. Execute [Microsoft. TableQuery Define columns to select. Add "Author" Set query details. Properties[ ID ]. Properties[ Publisher ]. Properties[ Author ]. Primary Retrieve the table. After you are done with deleting the row, you can check the result by running the script for retrieving rows.
There you will see that the first row is deleted. While running these commands please ensure that you have replaced the accountname with your account name, accountkey with your account key. It is a free tool that you can download and install on your computer. The buttons are encircled in following image. You can see the rows by clicking on them.
Step 2: Enter Field Name. Step 4: To see the rows created click on the table name in the left panel. Azure Storage Explorer is very basic and easy interface to manage tables. You can easily create, delete, upload, and download tables using this interface. This makes the tasks very easy for developers as compared to writing lengthy scripts in Windows PowerShell. Windows Azure uses caching to increase the speed of cloud services. The process involves placing the data at strategically chosen locations and caching it.
As a result, it provides maximum bandwidth for its delivery to users. Additionally, it scales the instant high load in a very efficient manner. Step 2: Click on 'New' at bottom left corner. CDN endpoint is created as show in the following image. Earlier only Azure services could be linked to CDN, but now any website can be linked to it using this service. This is going to protect your data for better.
Step 6: Select the country in the next screen and you are done. Also you can specify the file type. By default, compression is disabled. Analytics: You can see very useful figures in this section. For example, number of overall hits or in a specific geographic region.
The report will also show how many times requests are served from CDN endpoints and how many of them are going back to the original server. You will see a list of all the reports in the left panel as shown in the following image. Step 2: Enter the custom URL in the text box and its done. Applications Microsoft Azure Windows Azure is usually misinterpreted as just a hosting solution, but there is a lot more that can be done using Windows Azure.
It provides a platform to develop applications using a range of available technologies and programming languages. It offers to create and deploy applications using. In addition to. Windows Azure applications are scaled by creating multiple instances of the application. The number of instances needed by the application is specified by the developer while hosting the applications. If traffic is increased or decreased on the website or web application it can be managed easily by logging in to Windows Azure management portal and specifying the instances.
Load balancing can also be automated which would allow Azure to make the decision itself as when to assign more resources to application.
Web applications support. Tasks such as scaling and backups can be easily automated. Webjobs can also be scaled and scheduled.
Azure platform is developed in such a way that developers need to concentrate on only the development part and need not worry about other technical stuff outside their domain. Thus most of the administrative work is done by Azure itself. A marketplace is also set by Azure where its customers can buy applications and services. It is a platform where customers can search applications and deploy them in an easier way.
Azure marketplace is available in 88 countries at present. An application purchased from the marketplace can be easily connected to the local development environment by the application developers. The pricing is done using 5 different models, which includes usage-based and monthly fee. Some of the applications are even free of charge.
Active directory is used to manage the database of users in a protected manner. The same kind of service is provided by Windows Azure to keep the users and their password safe. Active directory is a feature that lets you create users, manage their roles, grant access and delete them.
Enter a domain name which is a temporary DNS. Once its directory is created, you can map it to your own domain. Step 1: Click on the directory name in the list of your directory.
You can create a new user or link an existing Microsoft account. You can even import a user from other directory in Azure. Step 3: Enter the user name in the following screen.
Step 4: Enter other details and choose the role for the user. A pop up shown in the following image will be seen on the screen. You can enter the name of the application and follow the wizard. Basically, it will replicate your user database residing on your on-premise machine in cloud. It will also automatically synchronize whenever changes are made on-premise.
An on-premise directory can be connected using the three steps as shown in the following image. Datacenters Microsoft Azure When we think of cloud, we imagine a place with large number of machines in big rooms. There must be a place where all the data is stored.
Microsoft has datacenters all over the world from where Windows Azure services are managed. Datacenters are divided in regions. The exact location of these datacenters is not revealed by Microsoft for obvious security reasons. Following are the 20 listed regions as can also be seen in the image.
Region here specifies a regional datacenter. Performance: You should select the nearest datacenter to the users of your application. The performance can be affected by the relative location of the users who want to access the application. If a user is closer to the datacenter, the performance will be better.
Cost: The price of hosting the application may also increase or decrease depending upon the datacenter you choose. Price actually can vary according to the database hosting location or any other service being used by the application.
You should choose the same location for all the services that are being used by your application. For example, database or any media service. Legal Aspect: Laws vary from country to country and restrictions could be enforced in some regions on what information can be shared and what cannot.
Scenarios Microsoft Azure Understanding the basic scenarios of Windows Azure will help us understand its use. Additionally, it will help us understand the services offered. Three basic scenarios are discussed here. In addition to the following scenarios, there can be many more ways of using Azure services based on the needs of clients, but all the basic uses are covered in this chapter.
Software Development Software development is the most popular scenario of Windows Azure. The software is developed and tested on local development fabric and then deployed in cloud of Windows Azure.
Azure hosts the web application and also the supporting processes, communicating with other web services. Testing of application in software development phase usually becomes too long for developers, if they need to change the configurations of environment being used to host the application.
In Windows Azure, this is the not a problem as resources are absolutely in their control and can be modified as needed by the application. Once a web application is hosted in cloud of Windows Azure, it is ready to be used by the end users and organizations. Moreover, deploying the application is very easy in Windows Azure using the tools provided by them.
The Visual Studio cloud project is also an easy option to deploy the application. An application is tested in the staging environment and then it is deployed in the production environment for end users to use it. Enterprise Process Offloading There are situations for an organization where they need to reduce loads from their on- premise systems for a certain period of time or on a regular basis. This could be easily achieved by using Windows Azure services at a very low cost.
Clients have to pay for only those transactions made on their application instead of paying for entire hardware and software. This is an extremely cost-efficient way of using new resources for the organization.
Azure in this context offers quite quick growth to businesses by extending resources on cloud when needed. Let us think of a scenario, when there is need for two different organizations to send and receive data between applications which is further processed by those applications. The cross-enterprise application integration can be done using Windows Azure. The service is called BizTalk service, which facilitates B2B messaging between on-premise or on-cloud applications of different organizations.
The process also includes validating and extracting the properties as required by the application at the receiving end. In a normal scenario, where communication is needed between applications of two organizations, the interaction will have to bypass the firewall by completing the due process.
Management Portal Microsoft Azure As the name suggests this is a portal to manage Azure services, which was released in This is a platform provided by Microsoft for its Azure clients where they can see, manage and buy the services offered by Azure.
However, features are more or less same in both the portals. You will get a free trial and you can explore, learn and create your own applications using Windows Azure. Since here we have an application already running, you can see a list of them. Your account will be empty for the first time. Left panel categorizes the application and the middle part lists all the application in the account.
It will take you to the following screen. This screen will show you all the details of your subscription, spending, and data usage. This way you can set a spending limit for you. Your services will be stopped once you reach the spending limit. If you scroll down on the page in the above image, you can see all that is available with your subscription and see the details on the right side.
This is calculated by your average per day spending and it would tell you in how many days your credit is going to get over. Add a New Subscription Step 1: Click on your account e-mail id or on the picture at the top right corner.
Azure Preview Portal Step 1: Click on your account e-mail at the top right corner. Step 3: The following screen will appear. All the functionalities are same. Create Virtual Network Microsoft Azure You can create virtual network on cloud or you can also connect to the on-premise local network to the cloud network in Windows Azure. This tutorial will first explain how to create a cloud only network.
Step 5: Enter the name and leave all other fields as they are except location. You will see that it will draw an image at the bottom. The subsequent chapters will have a demo on configuration of these two options. Step 3: Click next and leave the default values on the following screen. Step 4: Click the next arrow and a virtual network is created. You can add DNS servers and local network even after creating a virtual network.
This chapter contains the detailed process including how to configure virtual machines. Step 4: Enter DNS name. This has to be unique. The DNS name is used to connect to the virtual machine. Step 5: Select the image and size from the dropdown list. The size affects the cost of running virtual machine. Step 6: Enter username and password.
You must remember to log in to the virtual machine later. Step 7: Select the relevant region. It will take a few seconds for the machine to be created. In this screen, you find that choosing an image is easier based on their category shown on the left side. Let us create a virtual machine for SQL Server for which we have chosen SQL Server on the left side and all the software in this category are shown in the middle. Step 3: Click on the Next arrow. The size dropdown would change items according to tier.
In the basic version, you will get only first 5 options, while in the standard version you will get more options. It requires minimum A4 machine with 8 cores and 14GB memory. Step 6: Enter the username and password and click Next arrow. Step 7: Enter DNS name which should be unique as mentioned earlier and select the region. Under the storage account, it will display the storage accounts that you have already created. As seen in the following screen, an account name is shown in the dropdown which is a storage account created earlier.
You can choose an already created account or even use an automatically generated account. The last option is End Points. End points are used to communicate with virtual machines by other resources you can leave. In a subsequent chapter, we will provide a detailed illustration to configure endpoints. Step 9: Click on Next and the virtual machine will be created in a few seconds for you. If you already have a virtual network created in Azure, it will be diplayed in the highlighted dropdown list as shown in the following screen.
You can choose the network as shown in following picture. The virtual machine will be displyed in the resources of that network as shown in the following picture. Please refer to it. It is best to choose the region nearest to the physical location of end users. Endpoint Configuration Microsoft Azure When creating a virtual machine, we come across a part where endpoints can be configured. The two default endpoints enabled while creating a virtual machine are Remote Desktop and PowerShell.
What actually is an endpoint? Virtual machine on same cloud can communicate to each other automatically. But in case we need them to communicate with our own computer, we will need an endpoint configured to make it happen. It is basically accessing the virtual machine through a port. An endpoint provides remote access to the services running on virtual machine. It has a public and private port that needs to be specified while creating an endpoint. However, it can also be done in the same way as creating a new one on configuration part of wizard.
Alternatively, you can enter a custom name. It will assign unused ports automatically. Or you can enter it manually. Step 7: Click on Next arrow. Access Control of Endpoint We can grant or deny the access of services to an individual host or network.
If nothing is specified, the endpoint can be accessed from any host and network. Step 3: Enter Subnet Mask. Point-to-Site Connectivity Microsoft Azure In the last chapter, we saw how an endpoint can be created to access a virtual machine; this is quite a tedious task. If a virtual machine in virtual network needs to be connected with on-premise machine, the point-to-site connectivity is needed.
Point-to-site connectivity makes it very productive to work with remote virtual machines. Basically, a machine on-premise is connected to virtual network using point-to-site connectivity. However, we can connect up to on-premise machines to virtual network in Azure. The access to the virtual network in cloud is granted through a certificate. The certificate has to be installed on each local machine that needs to be connected to the virtual network.
Enabling Point-to-Site Connectivity on Existing Virtual Network If you have already created a virtual network in Azure, you can access it in management portal. Step 1: Log in to Azure management portal. Message shown in the following screen will pop up.
Step 7: Click Yes and a point-to-site connectivity is done. You will need a certificate to access your virtual network. Step 6: Point-to-Site connectivity is done. You will see that the gateway is not created yet.
For it to happen, you will have to generate a certificate first. Then go to msdn link or the version of Windows for which you want the tool. Step 2: Download the encircled file as shown in the following image. It will be saved as. While running the installation wizard, when you reach the following screen uncheck the encircled part.
By default they are checked. In the above command change the highlighted part to the name of your network. Step 6: Next enter the following command for creating client certificate. You can see the certificates here. Step Follow the wizard. You will have to name the certificate and select a location to save it.
Upload the Certificate Step 1: Login to Azure management portal. Step 3: Click browse and select the location of the certificate you just created. Step 2: Scroll down and locate the following options at the right side of the screen. Step 3: Select the suitable option and download it. You will see a similar file on your computer. Run and install it. You will be connected to the network. Site-to-Site Connectivity Microsoft Azure Most organizations already have a network on their premises and would want to connect it to Windows Azure rather than putting everything on cloud.
It is also called hybrid network connectivity. It is connecting virtual net in Azure to on-premises network. Setting up a site-to-site connectivity network is quite easy for someone who knows the basics of networking like IPs, subnetting and default gateways.
Step 3: Enter the DNS name for name resolution if you want, otherwise you can leave it empty if you want it to be automatically done by Azure.
Step 6: Enter the details of your virtual network in the address space. Step 7: After entering the subnets, enter the gateway subnet for your virtual network.
You will have to create a gateway for it. You can configure the VPN device now using the information. Site-to-site connectivity is faster than the point-to-site connectivity. It makes transferring of data easier. You just need a shared key to access the network.
In fact, the same shared key works for each machine. Traffic Manager Microsoft Azure Let us first understand what is the service provided by Azure traffic manager.
Basically, this service balances the traffic load of services hosted in Azure. The routing policy is defined by the client and traffic to the services hosted in Azure is redirected according to set policies.
Traffic manager is a DNS-based service. Thus, it will improve the availability and performance applications. There are three options in this dropdown. When a DNS is requested, it is redirected to the region closest to the user.
Traffic is distributed in round robin fashion by selecting a healthy endpoint. Step 4: Based on your needs you can choose a load balancing method. The articles address:. Understand your shared responsibility in the cloud. Learn how Microsoft Defender for Cloud can help you prevent, detect, and respond to threats with increased visibility and control over the security of your Azure resources.
